The Heart of Rock and Roll

New York, New York is everything they say

And no place that I'd rather be

Where else can you do a half a million things

All at a quarter to three?

When they play their music, ooh, that modern music

They pack it with a lot of style

But it's still that same old back-beat rhythm

That really, really drives 'em wild

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'

And from what I've seen I believe 'em

Now the old boy may be barely breathin'

But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beatin'

LA, Hollywood, and the Sunset Strip

Is something everyone should see

Neon lights, and the pretty, pretty girls

All dressed so scantily

When they play their music, that hard rockin' music

They pack it with a lot of flash

But it's still that same old back beat rhythm

That really, really kicks 'em in the

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'

And from what I've seen I believe 'em

Now the old boy may be barely breathin'

But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beatin'

Johnny

DC, San Antone, and the Liberty Town

Boston and Baton Rouge

Tulsa, Austin, Oklahoma City

Seattle, San Francisco, too

Everywhere there's music, real live music

Bands with a million styles

But it's still that same old rock and roll music

That really, really drives 'em wild

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beatin'

And from what I've seen I believe 'em

Now the old boy may be barely breathin'

But the heart of rock and roll, heart of rock and roll is still beating, yeah

In Cleveland

Detroit

Uh, heart of rock and roll
